Shadow Box #12 ~ Inside and Outside Series ~ Sweet Sign of Spring

This one is 10" square. I started with the colored pencil drawing of the yellow warbler. It's done on Bristol board, which has been glued into the frame. There are small dowels wrapped in fabric in each corner. A vine twisted around a stick has been painted black and rests against a carved shelf. On the shelf is a carved wooden bead, painted black. It holds painted sticks wrapped with small pieces of fabric. There is a painted masking tape ball on the bottom shelf. The leaves decorating the frame were drawn with pencil and painted with acrylic.
